The ocean and climate are intrinsically linked. Members of the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification (OA Alliance) are leading discussions across climate and ocean policy platforms, ensuring that commitments, policies and communications accurately reflect their interdependence.
IMPACTFUL LEADERSHIP ON CLIMATE AND OCEAN ACTION
Global problems like ocean acidification have local impacts and require unique actions. Through the development of Ocean Acidification Action Plans, OA Alliance members are proactively responding to the impacts of ocean acidification and promoting solutions that advance knowledge into policy action.
WHAT ARE MEMBERS DOING?
Are you a climate, ocean, or marine policy leader? An Ocean Acidification Action Plan encompasses the actions that OA Alliance members will take (or are taking) to better understand the impacts of ocean acidification to their region and accelerate OA mitigation, adaptation, and resilience nearshore.

building international momentum
International and multi-government commitments play an important role in implementing effective solutions and policy response to climate-ocean change.
OA Alliance members are calling for carbon emissions reductions alongside ocean mitigation and adaptation actions under international climate frameworks like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. We also deliver on OA commitments to the Our Ocean Conference and co-lead outcomes for the OA Research for Sustainability Program under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainability.
We are building a robust global network to accelerate urgency for climate-ocean action and transform policy response and financing.
